(Size-US-5-(3.75mm)) - 16" (41cm) ChiaoGoo Red Lace (Stainless Steel) Circular Knitting Needles

Stainless steel needles are not flimsy. The transition from the cord to the needles is smooth and trouble free. Sturdy cord. I would definitely recommend.

I have purchased all sets and circular individuals. I would never buy another brand but chiagoo. Absolutely love them.

These needles are sturdy with enough point on the ends to get into the finest lace but not split the yarn. The cord doesn’t knot (this is only 16” so not much chance of that). Overall, these were exactly what I needed and definitely will continue to use!

I can only repeat what everyone seems to say about these wonderful knitting needles. I have been working on a long skinny scarf for Christmas. It is lovely but the yarn loves to split. I am used to circular needles, metal. I tried one pair that would not relax. Tried straight bamboo needles that were too blunt and the yarn dragged. I got the Chiaogoo 5.5mm (US size 9) 16 inch red lace circular knitting needles to try out after seeing all the wonderful reviews. WOW! I am flying through my knitting now without dropping or adding a stitch. I love the nicely pointed tips, knitting the lace pattern stitches is so much easier now; the magical red lace cord’s only purpose in life is to hold the two needles together. It doesn’t make you twist and turn it to position how you are holding the needles. It doesn’t have a mind of its own. It just lays there (as it should!). I am going to save my money and get the full line of these needles. Yes they are that good in my opinion. I’m sure you will love them. PS. I did get the entire system and I am very pleased with it. Worth every penny spent. Endless combinations can be made and everything I need is at my fingertips. The needles stay firmly attached to the cords. I am still in love with this system. Happy knitting 🧶😊

As a beginner knitter who typically buys the cheaper needles, I absolutely love these! I have had zero issues and no complaints what so ever! I bought the ChiaoGoo needles for my first colorwork project. I had heard amazing things about to brand and wanted to know if they were truly better than the cheaper alternatives. I do think my experience and ease of knitting has I improved. The yarn glides very nicely when in use, but stays put while I set my project down or to the side. The needles fit nicely in my hands and are lightweight. I have no regrets about spending the extra money and will be sticking with this needle brand!
